• Section 3: Warning Levels
  
  There are 3 levels of warnings per member position, currently in effect:
  
  1. New members who haven't yet found the rules, they will be reminded of where the rules are, and which one applies.
  2. Members with 50+ posts are members who should have found the rules, and would get a warning.
  3. Members with 200+ posts would be more established, so should know better. These members would get a higher percentage warning.
  
  
  
• Section 4: Attitude towards other members and/or staff
  
  1. If anyone requires help, please give them a sensible answer and point them in the right direction. Do not make fun of them solely because they are new. We were all new once and we all might have needed help likewise.
  2. If you cannot be civil when replying, please do not reply. This is a friendly community.
  3. Please do not try to convert anyone to your way of thinking whether it be your internet browser/religion preference/or any other kind of preference or choice. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and should not be made to change theirs because you don't agree with it. If someone does ask for help with anything relating to 'their opinion', then either help them in a friendly way or ignore the thread/post.
